About this venue
Located directly on the shoreline, the Monterey Beach Hotel, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, is the only beachfront hotel in the Monterey Peninsula. Following a comprehensive renovation completed in 2024, the property has transitioned from its former identity (Monterey Tides) into a design-forward, upscale "beachy-chic" retreat.
Our event spaces
Ceremony (Beach)
Authentic "toes-in-the-sand" experience. You aren't just near the ocean; you are on it.
Choosing a beach ceremony at the Monterey Beach Hotel is unique because the property owns its stretch of sand—a rarity in California. This means you avoid many of the public permit hurdles required by state parks, though the shoreline technically remains open to the public for walking.
Guest capacity
Up to 300 Seated
Ideal for
Wedding ceremony
Guests often feel this space is
“Relax and Casual”
Reception (Del Monte Ballroom)
The standout feature is the floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and the city lights of Monterey as they begin to twinkle at dusk.
The Del Monte Ballroom is the hotel's premier indoor reception venue. Following the 2024 renovation, it features a clean, "coastal modern" aesthetic that moves away from traditional dark ballroom vibes in favor of light, airy finishes and expansive glass. 320 guests (typically reduced to 250–300 with a dance floor).
Guest capacity
